Valverde Criticizes Team: "We Should Have Played Better From the Start"
Real Madrid star Federico Valverde expressed his delight at Endrick being named player of the match against Roma, while also offering some criticism of the team's performance.
According to "Varzesh Se", Fede Valverde expressed his pride in his team's ability to return to the match after Real Madrid's epic comeback against Rome and a 4-3 victory. However, he did not forget to criticize the performance of the first half.
Real's Uruguayan midfielder, who once again made a sacrifice in the right-back position, praised the players' rebellious spirit and not giving up to compensate for the 3-1 result, but warned that the team should implement its tactical plans better from the very beginning of the match so that the work does not end up in such difficult conditions.
"I think the first half was balanced; They didn't have many chances and we didn't understand the match the way we trained for it. We had worked on many issues, but we could not implement them on the ground. After that, with a fighting spirit and in a situation where the result was against us, we started doing the same things we had practiced; Mobility in the central spaces and offensive part of the ground and trying to win one-on-one battles."
"As a player, I'm proud of the team's fighting spirit and not giving up, but if we had done our jobs right from the start, the match would have been easier and we could have enjoyed it more. We had some mistakes of our own, but we were able to return the result. I must also congratulate the players who entered the field."
"I am happy that he was chosen as the best player on the pitch. The head coach said that he needs all the players and thanked everyone for their efforts. This match showed that players who play less minutes also work hard."
Play again in the position of right back?
"The most important issue is victory. As the head coach said, when things are going well, we have to keep going. I'm also happy that I still get the chance to play, no matter what position I'm in. I really enjoy playing. In this race, I had a lot of space to run on the side of the field. I am grateful to the head coach for still trusting me and I will do my best for the team."
